Love the players. Hate the game.

Selene Anderson reluctantly moves to New York to live with her estranged father and his new family for her first year of college. She’s immediately drawn to Neil Miller like a moth to a flame. Neil is the eldest son of her father’s new wife, constantly battling a sinister past that gives him no respite. Selene would do anything to break down the walls Neil has built around his heart. But Neil is not ready to open up to anyone, believing himself to be too damaged to be loved.

As Selene and Neil wrestle with conflicting emotions and forbidden fantasies, in the shadows lurks Player 2511: a stalker looking for revenge against Neil. With his riddles, threats and attacks, the ruthless stranger drags Neil into a wicked game that he must play if he wants his family to live—and win if he wants a future with Selene.

Let the Game Begin is the first in Kiss Me Like You Love Me: a dark new adult romance series. It features mature themes and explicit content that may not be suitable for all audiences. Reader discretion is advised.
